PETER, PAUL AND MARY: "POWER" (1983)

Peter, Paul and Mary
(l to r: Peter Yarrow, Noel Paul Stookey, Mary Travers)
(Click above to hear "Power.")

From their days as folkies playing at The Bitter End, joining the March on Washington, to being arrested for Civil Disobedience while protesting Apartheid, Peter, Paul and Mary have never been afraid to make a statement. "Power" was recorded live, in protest of nuclear proliferation, asking the listener to remember a simpler time and that Mother Nature gives us everything we need. While never mentioning war explicitly, the warning undercurrent of the song calls into the question the motives of those who push so hard for nuclear power.

Peter, Paul and Mary had reuinted recently when this song was recorded, and they've lost none of their power as performers. The real genius of the group was their knack of having both a hard edge and a soft touch all at once. They draw listeners in with their beautiful melodies, making them think about the lyrics without ever really realizing it.

Peter, Paul and Mary remained a popular concert attraction for five decades, until their story sadly came to an end with the passing of Mary Travers. Their enormous body of work is staggering. Watch this blog for much, much more.

  2. When I was pregnant I never knew that my husband and nanny were having an affair. I never suspected anything like that was happening behind my back, What I noticed was that my nanny kept disrespecting my decision anytime I tried to correct her. she'll look down on me and never take my words seriously. This kept going on. One faithful day I tried to question her wrong doing in the house before I could speak up, she flamed up at me telling me not to question her actions any more, when she said that believe me my eye got blurry then she pushed me out her face. When my husband returned from work I told him what happened. My husband couldn't do anything about it. When I tried to stand my ground my husband and nanny attacked me. My husband then went into our room, packed all my luggage and  threw me out of the house telling me he's not Interested in me anymore. I left the house in pain and tears asking myself where everything went wrong. So before then I have read on the internet where a lady was given a good review about DR REETHESH . I took the DR REETHESH number and shared what has happened to me. He told me to make payment for all materials which I paid for. DR REETHESH did spiritual caster and found out that my nanny was sipping an evil substance in my husband's meal and water to drink, So that my husband will maltreat me and send me packing out of our home. But thanks to DR REETHESH he came to my rescue. My nanny was exposed and all her evil plans failed. Today my husband and I have welcomed our child and we're living happily again together. I'll advise you to contact DR REETHESH If you have any trouble disturbing your mind. Contact him Via WhatsApp: +2349012999010 OR Email: reethesh60@gmail.com
